Poor Ukraine, rich Poroshenko

Donate

Forbes Magazine has named Petro Poroshenko, Ukraine’s President, the 8th richest man in Ukraine. The fortune of the Ukrainian President is estimated at $750 million.

“So far Mr. Poroshenko’s main asset shows good results. In 2014, 19 factory stores were opened. The Kiev-based factory increased its profits nine-fold — up to 35 million hryvnias, while the factory in Vinnitsa has secured 47 million hryvnias in profit” the ranking says.

While business makes money, people from Donetsk and Luhansk die in Kiev’s punitive war. Civilians lose their families, houses and hope in a peaceful future.
